John F. Gaffney, 46, of 134 Huron street, a toolmaker in the Diemolding Corporation, Canastota, died yesterday afternoon in St. Joseph's Hospital, two weeks after the death of his brother, James Gaffney, of the same address.

Resuming his work as toolmaker, he was taken ill again four weeks later. Doctors diagnosed his second illness as appendicitis and advised an operation. The operation was performed on Jan. 2 and two weeks later peritonitis developed.
Mr. Gaffney was a native of Oswego, a son of the late Mr. and Mrs. William Gaffney of East 10th street, well known Oswego residents.

Besides his wife, he is survived by four sons, John Joseph, Robert E., William D., and Paul L. Gaffney; two daughters, Miss Frances A. and Miss Theresa A. Gaffney; a brother, Bartholomew Gaffney, and a sister, Mrs. Winifred Dickinson.
In the same home that rites were conducted two weeks ago for his brother, John Gaffneys' funeral will take place at 8:20 a.m. Saturday and in St. Anthony of Padua Church at 8:50 o'clock. Burial will be in Assumption Cemetery.
